Shocked!
No one expected that Uzumaki Heiming would pull off such a move. By using the enormous body of the golden Nine-Tails, he forced the Tailed Beast Bomb that Shukaku had been accumulating into Shukaku's stomach.
Shukaku tried to release the Tailed Beast Bomb again, but could only unleash a laser-like beam of energy. Immediately after, Uzumaki's massive Rasengan scattered the power of the laser light in all directions. The force was significantly reduced after being dispersed.
Was this the result of Uzumaki's terrifying combat experience? Had his skill grown this much?
Yamanaka Ino: "Oh my god, Uzumaki Naruto looks so cool in that golden form!"
Haruno Sakura: "It's unbelievable... he really does look amazing..."
Inuzuka Kiba: "If Bai Ming had reconciled with the Nine-Tails, he could be this cool. Damn, why is it always someone else who gets to be this awesome?"
Killer Bee: "Why is his perfect tailed beast transformation so different from mine? I transformed into Gyūki, but I can't act alone like him."
Gaara: "Same here."
Nine-Tails: "Huh! What are you saying..."
Gyūki: "Alright, Kurama, stop bragging. We all know you're the Nine-Tails. No need to act so cocky."
Uzumaki Baiming bit his sleeve, looking aggrieved.
It wasn't the sight of Heiming on the screen that frightened him. It was the words: "Help... You're not hurt…" and that sideways glance full of confidence.
Uzumaki Baiming wanted to be the one in that scene so badly. It was so incredibly cool.
[The crisp sound of applause brought Gaara back to reality.]
[Shukaku returns to Gaara's body.]
[However, the massive sand body hasn't dissipated yet.]
[Gaara looked around, confused: who am I? Where am I?]
[Oh right, I just fell asleep using the Doze Technique.]
[He had been sleeping peacefully when someone suddenly slapped him awake.]
[Gaara was about to unleash his fury, but suddenly realized something was wrong.]
[Why did I use the Doze Technique? Wasn't I trying to scare Uzumaki Naruto to death by bringing the real Shukaku to the stage?]
[But if I was woken up, that means…]
[Shukaku failed?]
[Gaara froze in disbelief.]
[Upon closer inspection, he saw a golden figure standing before him.]
["Who are you?" Gaara asked, his voice cautious.]
["Uzumaki Naruto…"]
["Little gourd, are you a sleepy fool?"]
[Uzumaki Naruto's cold voice made Gaara break out in a cold sweat.]
[Uzumaki Naruto?]
["Impossible! How are you still alive?" Gaara's body trembled.]
[After using the Doze Technique, his chakra reserves were almost depleted. Not only had he failed to kill Uzumaki Naruto, but now Naruto was stronger than before.]
[Gaara wasn't stupid—he could feel the immense pressure from Uzumaki Naruto.]
[That feeling of being powerless and facing certain death made Gaara realize how terrifying death really was.]
["Don't come closer…"]
[Faced with the prospect of death, Gaara panicked.]
[This was the fear that people talked about when they said they feared death.]
[Gaara, who had always used killing to prove his worth, now understood just how terrifying it was to face the end.]
["You… you…"]
["What are you?" Uzumaki Naruto pressed Gaara's head, shaking it back and forth.]
["So, now you're scared? Weren't you really arrogant earlier?"]
["Little gourd!" Uzumaki Naruto mocked.]
[Spiritual World, Nine-Tails looked at Naruto with slightly lowered eyes: "Hey, don't break his neck."]
["It's fine. He's wearing sand armor."]
[The Nine-Tails muttered in disbelief.]
The audience was left speechless.
This time, if Gaara ever returned to Sunagakure, he would likely avoid Uzumaki Naruto at all costs. He'd probably be too afraid to even look at him.
Terumi Mei: "Poor Gaara, just hearing the name Uzumaki Heiming will make him tremble."
Temari: "Damn Uzumaki, how dare he treat my brother like that?"
Kankuro: "Damn, if only I had been there..."
Inuzuka Fang: "Hey! Why are you blowing up more than me? Don't forget that you in the black world already ran off with that woman."
Kankuro: "Speaking of which, you didn't see how tragic the scene was. If it weren't for Uzumaki, one of your Genin would have died."
[Gaara fell into deep despair.]
[Only then did he realize that Uzumaki Naruto had tapped into the power of the tailed beast within him.]
[However, what shocked him more was how terrifying Naruto had become after using that power.]
[Even if Gaara gained more strength, he couldn't possibly be Naruto's equal.]
["Alright!"]
[Uzumaki Naruto suddenly released his grip on Gaara, saying, "I should plan to send you to your grave now."]
["No! Stop!"]
[Gaara's panic reached new heights.]
[Just as things seemed hopeless, a figure dashed by.]
[The figure grabbed Gaara and fled in the opposite direction.]
["Who!"]
["What incredible speed!"]
[Uzumaki Naruto pretended to give chase but then nonchalantly glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen's fallen form.]
["Third Generation project…"]
["Grandpa of the Third Generation!"]
[BOOM!]
[Orochimaru and Jiraiya collided and quickly separated.]
["Jiraiya…"]
["I think we should stop here. My plan is already working. Konoha Village will be devastated after this attack."]
[Seeing Uzumaki Naruto rushing toward Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru trembled.]
[If Naruto decides to take out his anger on Sarutobi Hiruzen's death, then he will have the upper hand.]
[This idea fell to the ground.]
[Orochimaru turned to the injured Otonogakure, "Get out!"]
["Orochimaru…"]
[Jiraiya wanted to give chase but quickly stopped. The village had already suffered too much damage.]
[Who knows what else they'll face?]
Terumi Mei: "Uzumaki, black name, he's really playing his cards well. The person who rescued Gaara must have been numb by now."
Onoki: "Although the opponent's speed was so fast that I didn't catch it clearly, Black Ming didn't run away."
Fourth Raikage: "Well... then Heiming pretended to be shocked when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen's death, so he didn't even need to chase him."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."
Shimura Danzō: "Watching Hiruzen's death again, I thought that in Kuro Naruto's world, there might have been a different outcome."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Hehe, luckily I'm dead. Otherwise, I might have been tricked to death by that old buddy."
Senju Tobirama: "...."
Senju Hashirama: "I'm wondering, what are you talking about? The Fourth Hokage told Uzumaki Heiming that someone outside is plotting against Nine-Tails. Based on his tone, the guy wearing a mask shouldn't be an ordinary person."
Senju Tobirama: "Brother... Obviously, the stronger Konoha Village is, the safer it is for Kuronaru. But he seems to be pointing the finger at Konoha's senior management for leaking the location of Kushina's delivery."
Uzumaki Kushina: "I don't know what to say, but I think Minato and I, like Black Naruto, believe in him. I'm willing to trust that he has a better solution."
Tsunade: "Please, he pointed the finger at Konoha's senior management due to personal grievances. Once those grievances are resolved, his ultimate goal is to control Konoha. At that point, won't the ninjas of Konoha still be there to protect him?"
Senju Tobirama: "That… does seem like a reasonable perspective."
Senju Hashirama: "It's really strange. We created Konoha to protect the villagers, and Kuronaru seems to be doing the opposite."
Jiraiya: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe with Heiming's talents, he will have no rivals in the entire ninja world."
Orochimaru: "Then Naruto-kun will need my help. Once the masked guy is dealt with, I will quietly watch him reach the peak of the ninja world."

Dark Cave.
Uchiha Obito stood up slowly.
"Isn't it true that you can use the power of Nine-Tails?"
"What should I do?"
"That Uzumaki Heiming is far too dangerous."
Black Zetsu:
Looking at Obito's indifferent expression, he felt guilty deep down.
I think you're the one who should be worried! You b*****d.
This guy might have been deceived by Uzumaki Heiming back then.
What's more, Uzumaki Heiming seems like someone who will take revenge if he finds out Uchiha Obito killed Fourth Hokage and Uzumaki Kushina.
If Obito falls into Heiming's hands, he will definitely meet his end.
Maybe it would be better for him to die peacefully.
Thinking of this, Black Zetsu shuddered.
In Heiming's world, his plan to save his mother might have a very slim chance of succeeding.

[Temari and Kankuro, who had left Konoha Village, were still shaken by the previous scene.]
[Shukaku failed.]
[Defeated by Uzumaki Naruto.]
[But that golden fox...]
[Uzumaki Naruto really is a monster in Tailed Beast form.]
[Compared to Gaara, he was on another level.]
[They Sunagakure were crushed by Konoha.]
[No, it was completely crushed by Uzumaki Naruto.]
[Temari and Kankuro were frozen in place.]
[What does Sunagakure's defeat mean?]
[They needed to save Gaara.]
[Temari: "We can't do nothing."]
[Kankuro: "The situation in Konoha is worse than ours, even more powerful."]
["We'll go back and tell Grandma Chiyo. She'll know what to do."]
[But when a figure appeared carrying Gaara, they froze.]
[It was a mysterious figure with a black mask.]
["Gaara!"]
[Temari and Kankuro were surprised, but their suspicion grew as they saw the figure's true power.]
["Take him back, don't tell anyone about me."]
[The figure vanished swiftly.]
